Parametric study of radial functionally graded femoral prostheses with different geometries
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Due to complex loading and chemical conditions of the human body, the artificial replacements of the body organs demand materials with superior characteristics. Therefore, recently using composite materials have gained a ...
Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
Numerical and experimental investigation of corrugated tubes under lateral compression
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
As a common type of energy absorbers, thin-walled structures have been extensively used in crashworthiness application in many industries. The goal of this research is the optimisation of the crushing parameters of corrugated ...
Electrodeposition of flower-like platinum on electrophoretically grown nitrogen-doped graphene as a highly sensitive electrochemical non-enzymatic biosensor for hydrogen peroxide detection
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
An efficient non-enzymatic biosensor electrode consisting of nitrogen-doped graphene (N-graphene) and platinum nanoflower (Pt NF) with different N-graphene loadings were fabricated on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass using a ...
Transient response of porous FG nanoplates subjected to various pulse loads based on nonlocal stress-strain gradient theory
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Based on nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT), transient behavior of a porous functionally graded (FG) nanoplate due to various impulse loads has been studied. The porous nanoplate has evenly and unevenly distributed ...
Osteopontin: A Promising Therapeutic Target in Cardiac Fibrosis
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
Osteopontin (OPN) is recognized for its significant roles in both physiological and pathological processes. Initially, OPN was recognized as a cytokine with pro-inflammatory actions. More recently, OPN has emerged as a ...
Cross-training policies for repair shops with spare part inventories
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We study a spare part supply system for repairable spare parts where parallel repair servers may have multiple skills (can repair different failed parts). Demands for the spares occur according to Poisson processes with ...
Key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluation of energy conservation in buildings
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The main objectives of this paper are to: identify key performance indicators (KPIs) related to intelligent buildings (economical, environmental, reliability, and quality), and; propose a simulation framework for evaluation ...
Harnessing the Potential of Stem Cells from Different Sources for Tissue Engineering
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Recent advances in bioengineering and stem cell research have pushed tissue engineering to the forefront in countering the increasing demand for replacement of damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells from different sources ...
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ...
